Hello! It is officially summer break for the kiddos. Time is moving fast. Our days lately have been filled with soccer, flag football, soaking up as much time as possible with dear friends and family in Pensacola and around the U.S., and preparing for our move to Honduras. God has been working some miracles! We are scheduled to share our story on June 5 at Lynn Haven United Methodist Church for both services. We are also scheduled to share for about 10 minutes at Northridge Church on July 10. Please be in prayer for us on those days as we are asking God to speak through us. We will post links on our blog for the livestreams of these services if you would like to watch online. :)
We believe we are on track to be in Honduras in August. Thank you for all of the prayers, well wishes and financial blessings! We cannot wait to get back to Rancho Ebenezer to live with, learn from and serve the amazing kids who live there (pictured left). We know that God will do some amazing things there to grow our faith and expand His Kingdom. Please continue to pray for our children (Yese, Bryeten, Chance and Mac) and for God to continue preparing our hearts for His service in Honduras.
Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. (Luke 9:23-24 NLT)
This verse has been on our hearts. This is a daily task to lay down our own way and pick up a difficult but more rewarding way. We feel like we are giving up our life for His sake in the process of moving to Honduras. We are also praying that all of you reading this update will seek to give up your life daily for the sake of Jesus! It won’t look the same as our story, but ask God and He will tell you how you can lay down your life for Him.
If you have any questions about our needs or if you would like to know more about coming to Rancho Ebenezer to serve and see the ministry first-hand, please email us at Steve.Nelson@wgomission.org or Kris.Nelson@wgomission.org. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for your past and future love and support!
With Love,
Steve and Kris Nelson
